Casting dates are approaching for Loserville, this year's Avon Summer Theater show, and students in current grades 8 through 12 from the Farmington Valley and beyond are invited to immerse themselves in all aspects of producing and performing this smash-hit musical from London's West End, which will be staged July 21-23.

A tradition in town for 57 consecutive summers, Avon Summer Theater's productions draw enthusiastic audiences and provide students with on-stage and behind-the-scenes opportunities as they collaborate over a five-week period to bring a fully staged musical to life. Nominated for an Olivier Award for Best New Musical in 2013, Loserville is a rock-pop geekfest based on the groundbreaking album, Welcome to Loserville, from the band Son of Dork.

The deadline for registration is June 16, and auditions will take place the evenings of June 21 and 22. All participants will be cast in lead or ensemble roles. The program fee is $300 for on-stage cast and $150 for technical crew members. All rehearsals and performances are held at the Avon High School Auditorium, 510 West Avon Road in Avon.
